In this study on the surface charges and structural characterization of kaolinite clay, it is
found that the highly pH dependent edge charges are important to the interparticle forces …

Diffusion of contaminants can play a significant if not dominant role in many applications
encountered within the field of environmental geotechnics. The objective of this paper is to …

Integrating and blending traditional theory with particle-energy-field theory, this book
provides a framework for the analysis of soil behaviour under varied environmental …

The consolidation behavior and hydraulic conductivity (k) of nine backfill mixtures modeling
those used for soil-bentonite (SB) vertical cutoff walls are evaluated. The backfills include …

Disposal of fly ash on land amounts to sacrificing precious land space. Recycling of fly ash is
one of the methods of solving the disposal problem. Stabilization of a low lime fly ash with …

Vertical cutoff walls have been used to control the movement of contaminants and
contaminated groundwater since the remediation of contaminated sites began. There are …

Soil-bentonite slurry trench cutoff walls have found widespread application as a component
of site remediation systems to impede horizontal ground water flow and contaminant …

The hydraulic conductivity of soil–bentonite backfill in three pilot-scale cutoff walls was
measured using laboratory tests on disturbed samples, laboratory tests on undisturbed …

President Carter's 1980 declaration of a state of emergency at Love Canal, New York,
recognized that residents' health had been affected by nearby chemical waste sites. The …

The strength and hydraulic conductivity of vertical cutoff walls consisting of reactive
magnesia-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS), bentonite, and soil (MSB) …
